Here you can find simple 200 LOC Certificate Authority Server
that is used to enroll server cerficates (for SYNRC applications)
and client certificates (for securing device connections).
SETUP CA
SYNRC CA supports all Erlang package managers: mix, mad, rebar3, rebar, erlang.mk.

Here is e.g. how to secure MQTT IoT connection with ECC cryptography.
First install XIO server and protect
is with server cerficate (as described above).
And then use emqtt client and your personal client certificate:
